I have been seriously thinking about getting one of these. I am looking for a battery that will last a whole day and still fit in a shirt pocket.
I'm thinking' this just might be it.

I ordered one of the Big boys in Red yesterday.
Let us know what it is like when you do get it. I am interested. I do love this form of battery because it is just so easy to carry when out and about. If it truly is 4500mah it would last days for me!

I will certainly do that... but it'll be a while... it's on the slow boat.
Maybe you will get it in time for the holidays as a nice little present to yourself. I need to transfer funds into my paypal account, wait the week or so until it is in there and then place an order. I may go for some tanks this round and wait to hear how well these batteries work. They just look so nice - especially the red.

They do take regular credit cards now too, in case you didn't know.
As much as possible, I try to use paypal because I have not linked it to my credit card. That week or so where I wait is my "Do I really need to buy that?" period. If I still think something is a must have after that week, then I will order it. When I quit smoking the name brand cigarettes were about $17 a pack. The bargain packs were $13. I smoked about half a pack a day which is a significant cost over the years. Now that I vape, I find myself thinking "Ooh, pretty. I must have that." frequently. So I may actually see some of the savings from this lifestyle change eventually.

Wow. $28 would be like two packs for me at the time I quit. I know that I will end up building up a collection but want to take my time doing so. I recently purchased an MVP - admittedly I did go for a used device and find myself going back to spinners because I like the size and shape more. The button on the MVP is fussy and it may or may not read whatever I am using with it at any given moment. Frustrates me to no end but the spinners work very nicely and last for a little over a day.

Sounds like maybe you got a dud!... I absolutely love my MVP2... had it for about 6 months now with no issues at all. Only time it flashes is when I hold the button down too long.
I might consider getting another as I only hear good things about them and you are right mine is probably just a dud. One of my local vendors just got the istick in which may also be a good option as it is smaller.

Just ok, don't think it's 3200nah. Maybe half that at best. Charges in 4hrs. Only last about 18hyrs., same as my Evod twist 1100. Nice and short. Looks funny with a mini Nautilus on it.
26650 battery inside
Interesting for sure

I like it ok, wouldn't give 18 for it again, would buy another at $12. What can I say, I'm a cheap bastard.

Mine finally got here... the 4500Mah Big Boy... Here's a pic to compare size... I haven't really had a chance to play with it yet... once I do, I'll update you on how it performs. I can tell you that it seems to be well made, and it's very hefty feeling in your hand.

Not really much bigger around than my CF battery, of course much shorter, makes it a lot handier than both of the other VV types, just wish it had a 4.8v out put too, guess 4.2 will have to do. Forgot to mention the charger that came with, has a sticker says, output 4.2v@ 800mah

Yeah...Cheap Bastard is what the gooks used to call me. Just can't see giving over 20 bucks for a stick ( no offence )
